You did not select a file to download. Igniter php code

Question

I am trying to implement a post function and want to select a message and image from a php view. The functionality of my post works well. But when I upload the image, I get the error message You did not select a file to upload . This is my controller function.

 function post_func() { session_start(); echo $post_message=$_POST['post']; echo $share_with=$_POST['share_with']; echo $image=$_POST['image']; if($image==null){ echo "<br/>no image<br/>"; } else{ //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $config['upload_path'] = './application/css'; $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png'; $config['max_size'] = '100'; $config['max_width'] = '1024'; $config['max_height'] = '768'; $this->load->library('upload', $config); $this->upload->initialize($config); if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload()) { $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors()); echo "<br/>"; echo $this->upload->display_errors(); echo "<br/> image error<br/>"; } else { echo "<br/> reached <br/>"; session_start(); $this->membership_model->insert_images($this->upload->data(),$email); $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data()); echo "<br/ problem<br/>"; } //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// } $public; if($share_with=="public"){ echo "1"; $public=true; }else{ echo "0"; $public=false; }echo "-----------------------------<br/>"; echo $user=$this->session->userdata('user_identification'); $data = array ( 'userid'=> $user, 'public' => $public, 'message' => $post_message, 'picname' => "None" ); $this->load->model('membership_model'); $this->membership_model->add_message($data); echo "</br>"; echo $user=$this->session->userdata('user_identification'); } 

This is my opinion.

 <?php echo form_open('search/post_func');?> <!--<form id="loginForm" action="../search/post_func" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >--> <div id="your_post"> <div id="post_image"> <img id ="post_img" src="<?php echo $this->config->item('base_url'); ?><?php echo '/application/css/'. $img ?>"/> </div> <textarea name="post" rows="5" cols="30" placeholder="Share an update..." id="post_text" rows="2" value=""></textarea> //other view items <?php echo form_close(); ?> 

Please help me

Answer 1

Edit:

 <?php echo form_open_multipart('search/post_func');?> 

Answer 2

Edit:

 $this->upload->do_upload() 

For this:

 $this->upload->do_upload('my_file_input_name') 

and it will work !! :)

Answer 3

Your form type must be "multipart"
Change your form tag to:

  <?php echo form_open_multipart('search/post_func');?> 

Answer 4

 enctype='multipart/form-data' 

you must put the previous attribute in the form tag

 $this->upload->do_upload('file_name') 

pass the input tag file name to a simple string in your controller

 <input type="file" name ="file_name" > 

Answer 5

Another reason I find this problem. if you forgot to initialize after loading your library:

 $this->load->library('upload', $config); $this->upload->initialize($config); //Make this line must be here. 

Hope this helps you.

Answer 6

So, note that I was importing mysql downloads and I got the message "You did not select a file to download." It turns out that my import sql file had extra columns that caused the crash and returned this error message.

Answer 7

code example

  $config['upload_path'] = FCPATH.'upload/'; $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png'; $config['max_size'] = '100'; $config['max_width'] = '1024'; $config['max_height'] = '768'; $this->load->library('upload'); $this->upload->initialize($config); if ( ! $this->upload-> do_upload('userfile')) { $errors = $this->upload->display_errors(); $this->session->set_flashdata('error', $errors); redirect('ur_link'); } else { $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data()); $fullpath= $data['upload_data']['full_path']; $file_name = $data['upload_data']['file_name']; } } 

Answer 8

Do it:

 if(isset($_FILES['profile_pic']['name']) && !empty($_FILES['profile_pic']['name'])){ $config['upload_path']= './assets/img/'; $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png'; $config['max_size'] = 10000; $config['max_width'] = 10000; $config['max_height'] = 10000; $this->load->library('upload', $config); if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload('profile_pic')) { $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors()); print_r($error); exit; } else { $data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data()); if(!empty($data)){ $img1 = $data['upload_data']['file_name']; } } } $insert_data['profile_pic'] = $img1;
